Strange login issue

She had a load of crap on the desktop cluttering the place up so i moved it all into her user/documents "freya ******* (surname)" folder on the desktop. All is well.

Installed a few updates and logged back on, to be greeted with what look like a blank OS, with just her user folder on the desktop "freya" - note only her first name.

Opened that up and everything i had just moved wasnt there! fuck i thought. navigated to c: users and into her folder and there it was, so i moved it all from that location to the "freya" folder on the desktop.

Logged back out, and now when i logged back on it has taken me into the original user account with all the bells and whistles, only, all the files i had just moved back are not in the "freya ******* (surname)" folder!! and now i cant seem to get back into the other "blank" account. Tried searching for the files but i cannot find them on the laptop, I know they havent been deleted for sure

Anyway, help me out lads before the missus finds out and goes off on one!

Re: Strange login issue

totallyandom - her normal login is her email account login.

its like i got a basic user account, and i trnsferred the user files from her normal account to that one. now i cant access the "basic" account. i know 100% the files arent gone, just hidden somewhere, or a location i dont have acces to from her email login account

Re: Strange login issue

I reckon it's to do with the ntuser.dat and ntuser.ini files which are hidden under normal circumstances.
You have likely copied them (or not for that matter). go into folder options and then view, uncheck 'Hide protected operating system files.
